Gender Equality Afghanistan Project #1155

Fast Track Education for Afghan Women and Girls

by Afghan Institute of Learning

Project Report | Mar 1, 2012
More Centers Opened

By Toc Dunlap | Executive Director, Creating Hope International

During the last four months of 2011, four additional Learning Centers were added by the Afghan Institute of Learning. Three of these Centers are in the Herat Province, and one is in Kabul. Each of these Centers offers fast-track classes to women and girls. Enrollment at each of these centers has increased since their opening. For example, at one in Herat, it opened in September with 114 students, but now has 185. It is because of your generous support that these women are able to pursue an education.

Please keep in mind that Wednesday, March 14, 2012 is Bonus Day through Global Giving. Donations up to $1,000.00 will be provided with a 30% match. The bonus allotment is $50,000.00 and the period runs from 12:01 AM EST until the funds are exhausted.
